The State of Affairs

As you can tell from my photos, I tend to live the good life with little regard for calories. This has, unfortunately, led to some self-diagnosed health concerns. Some constant back pain and occasional knee/ankle pain has led me to conclude I need to make changes in the way I live my life.

Life is all about choices. I'm hoping to start making some better ones.

From now on I'm going to monitor what I'm eating and plan out my menu more closely so I'm not resorting to food on the run quite so often. I will still strive to post my food adventures, but, recently I've been cooking mostly chicken and lean meats at home. Boring stuff for the most part.

Anyway, because of this I am proud to say I've lost almost 10 pounds and taken in the belt one notch since the 7th of January! Hopefully this will be the start of a lifelong trend.

A Little About Me

My name is Chris. I love food, I love to cook and I love to eat, plain and simple.

I'm always on the lookout for new things to try. Occasionally, I enjoy grabbing a bite on the run and look to support places who have owners who are passionate about their end product. I tend to stick to local, single outlet establishments and try to avoid chains if possible. I'm not into 'fine dining' because I don't believe in paying hundreds of dollars for a meal.

This blog is set up to share the places I visit in my travels and my experiments in the kitchen at home. Most places I visit will be hole-in-the-wall, plastic tableclothed, napkin dispenser oriented joints. My taste buds wouldn't have it any other way.
